What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by surendranb/writing-skills in template/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
One line: the essence of this style in a sentence fragment.
The core rule
The single bolded sentence that IS this skill. One or two sentences of sharpening — what this style is really doing and the failure it prevents.
Workflow: first move → second move → third move → run the Verify checklist.
Mechanics
- Named rule. Concrete and checkable — a cap, a ban list, a required shape.
- Named rule. "X not Y" with a real example inline.
- Named rule. Numbers where possible (sentence length, ratios, counts).
- Named rule. For voices: include a rate-limit that prevents caricature.
Verify
- Checkable statement (an agent can pass/fail this mechanically)
- Checkable statement
- Checkable statement
Do not
- The tempting mistake this style invites
- The failure mode that looks like the style but isn't
Example transformations
Before: "A realistic 'default prose' input."
